Back wheel slipped (looked like some loose stones at side of road) rider over corrected, induced a 'tank slapper' and went straight into
the wall.
Looked painful! poor chap!

back wheel slipped out, wasnt leaning far so would be reasonable to me to assume there was something on the road?
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

Im not a biker, but it looks like the back end steps out under power. Power comes off, grp snaps back, and its all over.

Yep front or rear slipped on something. Glad there was not too much sound. I hate the noise of car and bike crashes.
Hope he was ok and laughed at the video afterwards!!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Yep, back wheel spun up as he changed down and got on the power, stepped out, he over compensted, came right off the throttle inducing a tank slapper.
Then panicked and stiffened up, trying to stop the bike with his feet.
Very difficult, and against all survival rections, but he should have relxed leaned a little left and let the bike recover, if it hadn't
he'd have lowsided, far less painfull that that highsider.

May have had too low a pressure in rear tyre - I had that happen once (due to puncture) but not the same result.

I believe it's known as target fixation by bikers. Theres the wall, theres the wall, theres the wall,theres the wall,theres the wall,theres the
wall,theres the wall BANG

Thats what I found hardest to do when I was learning to ride, not fixate on targets and not stiffen up!
A bird in the hand....

I serviced alot of bikes last year, amazing how many have low tyre pressures, probably bleep all pressure in the rear tyre, or was giving it a bit too
much, or poo on the road or any number of things could have caused the rear to step.
I think it was poor riding that caused the crash, the rear wheel only stepped a little, it corrected itself before the rider knew what was going on,
it then looked like the rider panicked and got on the front brake, probably told himself he was going to hit the wall and stared at it.
